In fact my wife tossed hers and therefore lost her special code necessary for signing up for monitoring. I contacted whatever gov't agency was handling all this to ask for them to resend the code and they said they had no process in place for that and to try again..maybe in a couple months?!?

I received my OPM letter. I didn't request credit monitoring because the company they selected was unknown, and I felt giving yet another government contractor or agency my information and access to credit information would lead to more privacy concerns and date theft issues.
